With the midterms over and the next presidential cycle officially underway, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke at Georgetown University Wednesday morning to bundles of empty seats littered throughout the auditorium.
In pictures, empty seats are shown throughout the balcony level of the auditorium, with other empty seats shown in the lower level as well.
Clinton spoke to a foreign policy conference centered on “Security” and “Inclusive Leadership,” according to the university. The conference was held at the university’s famed Gaston Hall, which includes the 750-seat auditorium Clinton spoke at Wednesday.

Since we know what it takes to get Hillary to show up on campus, this was a real loser for Georgetown U. TM ********************
Plans for UCLA visit give rare glimpse into Hillary Clinton’s paid speaking career
When officials at the University of California at Los Angeles began negotiating a $300,000 speech appearance by Hillary Rodham Clinton, the school had one request: Could we get a reduced rate for public universities?
The answer from Clinton’s representatives: $300,000 is the “special university rate.”
That e-mail exchange and other internal communications, obtained this week by The Washington Post under a Freedom of Information Act request, provide a rare glimpse into the complex and meticulous backstage efforts to manage the likely 2016 presidential candidate’s lucrative speaking career.

Well, I don't mean to sidetrack the thread, but I'll say one thing for her, although it pains me to do so, at least she didn't have them cover the crosses in Gaston Hall:

That surprises me too. You'd think they would have used the drapes to hide all the empty seats, as they did for an Obama speech in a Basketball court right before the election. Must have been a rush job, or they didn't have any budget left after paying her exorbitant speaking fee.

Anyone see Pocahontas Warren having trouble putting asses in seats at Lib colleges?
Hillary is one of those candidates that looks best from afar. The more scrutiny she undergoes, the worse she fares. She needs to erect a barrier around her to keep her insulated from the world we live in. A big control freak with rules fit for a queen, like do not look her in the eye. She actually ordered White House employees to avert their eyes when they saw her coming down the hall! Then there's Craig Livingstone and file-gate, the White House Travel Office staff firings and travel-gate, this is all from 2000!!! No mention yet of her SoS days of failure while leading. This lady creates a smelly commotion wherever she goes and when she has power, she wields it quite ruthlessly....
Therefore, I agree with Frank, she cannot tolerate the scrutiny of the press and the public eye. She needs exposure to others on her controlled terms. She really isn't cut out for the Oval Office.

It must be that new car smell keeping the crowds away.
A smell? yes. new car? not so sure about that. "you didn't build that" is a new car smell?
She just barely beat Scott Brown here in MA. kind of a novel newcomer with am annoyingly jerky manner.
I don't think she'll fly nationally. Although her smell may help!!!
The BIG question is, is this the best smell they can field?
